OLP ECC Weekly Update 08/26/2016
Our Lady of the Presentation
Early Childhood Center
ECC Families,

We have finished our first full week of school!  We will be wrapping up August this week and heading into September.  It was great to see many of our families out at Paradise Park on Friday I hope you got a chance to spend some quality family time and meet some of our other OLP families.  This week many of our Pre-K classes will be heading over to church to help their students become familiar with where we will be sitting and talk about how we behave during Mass.  There is a link below and on our website which shows the dates Pre-K will be attending Mass.  In September we will start our Spanish classes for Preschool and above and Stretch-n-Grow for our Toddlers and Two's.  A quick word about germs and keeping healthy.  We ask parents as part of their morning drop off routine to please have your child wash their hands before coming to the tables for breakfast or to play.  If it is after 7:30 either ask your child to wash their hands at the group bathrooms before going to class or instruct them to go directly to their classroom bathroom to wash hands before morning work.  This practice helps us to cut down on the amount of germs which are brought into school from all the different home environments.  Please touch base with Teresa at tbutton@olpls.org if you have questions about tuition and any missing paperwork should be dropped off at the front office.  If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Many Blessings, 

Catherine M. Koob
Director

2016-2017 School Calendar
Please make sure to review our important dates calendar.  We have made a couple of updates from our previous calendar.  

2016-2017 Tuition and Fees
The first week of school is a little chaotic we understand.  Please make sure you have touched base with our Assistant Director, Teresa Button. She handles all of the billing and payments on tuition accounts.  We would be happy to get you set up on automatic payments from your checking account or with a credit card.  The tuition express account set up information is listed below.  You may contact Teresa at tbutton@olpls.org if you have questions.

Enrollment Paperwork
We are diligently working to enter all of the paperwork turned into us at Meet Your Teacher and earlier.  Several families have not turned in all of the necessary paperwork.  We will be contacting you and we ask you turn in any missing paperwork as soon as possible.  All doctors forms must be turned in within 30 days of your child's start date.  If you have any questions regarding paperwork you may contact Deanna Driskell at ddriskell@olpls.org or Kim Brummett at kbrummett@olpls.org.
